It sounds like you very much do support it

1) you’ve provided no evidence that this student engaged in insults against Jewish students. You’ve only expressed your views about Gaza protests in general, not this student’s actions.

2) you’ve made it very clear that you support the denial of her degree. That only happened because of Trump’s threats against universities.

3) encampments are no different from sit ins and less destructive than the Boston Tea Party and many union actions through US history. Have you heard of Haymarket?

4) The only reason you take the position you have is because you object to Americans speaking out against the genocide in Gaza. What you object to is not even civil disobedience; it’s speech.

5) protest is central to democracy. That you think it pointless says something about your attitude toward social change.





Kick in to the DU tip jar?

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
